Parkmobile is a convenient way to pay for your on-street parking through your mobile phone. To use Parkmobile:

Download the Parkmobile app to your Apple or Android device.

Sign up with an easy registration.

Enter your zone number or scan the QR code from the Parkmobile sticker on your parking meter.

Confirm zone number, location, and license plate number for the parked vehicle.

Choose the duration you wish to park.

Start parking – and enjoying downtown Boise!

Parkmobile can also send you 15-minute notifications to let you know when your session is about to expire. If you have not reached the maximum meter time you can extend your session through the mobile app and continue your downtown business.

The digital parking meters allow you to pre-pay for time during non-enforcement hours without wasting your money. If you arive prior to 8:00 a.m., you can pay for parking and the meter will not start calculating your time until 8:00 a.m. This means if you had a bit too much fun and need to leave your vehicle downtown overnight, you can pre-pay for time and your meter won't start running until 8:00 a.m. the following morning. This gives you time to return the next morning and safely retrieve your vehicle.
